Can I put my money on Motion for Glitch-Free Pans and Zooms?

Hello all
I'm an experienced FCE user, who is tired of the unreliabilty of keyframe for producing good smooth pans and stills.
iMovie, Photo to Movie, I tried em all ....
Do I have equipment related issues? (absolutely not)
Cutting right to the quick, I'd like to find a motion editor that will handle whatever file resolution I throw at it, and give me reasonable results without the unwanted Anti-aliasing glistening appearance, and jaggedness of a pan or zoom that keyframe and iMovie produce.
Within reason of course, but I'm frustrated at having to worry about calculating, and resizing a photograph just to have it behave smoothly as a pan or zoom is applied.
Have you guys had good results with Motion in working with stills? Specifically photographs (tiff and jpg files)
Thank you

Hi Patrick
Thanx for your reply
Well I just purchased, (and still testing), 'Lyric Media Pan Zoom Pro'
First indications by it's initial usage, seems to be good news because it would seem that varying pixel sized images (even very large ones), are being rendered and processed WITHOUT the typical Jagged edges of iMovie, or the unstable movement from keyframe.
The nice thing about it, is that it's a 'FC Plug In' and it was only $49
I do realize that there's a slight (very slight), loss of crispness, but this is probably done as a benefit so that the image will move very smoothly, with no 'aliasing' - So far so good.
Here it is:

By the way, if I were to get Motion, I'd pick up older version 2 as a stand alone
(I know where to find them - legit)
Patrick you say:
"my graphics card limits me to a 2048x2048 size graphic"
Well, I'm not sure what you mean by this? Are you basing this on my system specifications? My ATI 9800 Pro? This 256MB card was a big improvement from the stock 64MB card.
I'm convinced that all the still image glitches that I'm dealing with are because of the very nature of the iMovie's engine (as read and confirmed here), and by the very nature of 'keyframing's shortcomings'
Looks like I'll work with Lyric Pan & Zoom, and see how it goes ....
Thanx
Mike

Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Form

Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Forms. My question is, when Adobe Forms ends on July 28th will Adobe Acrobat XI Pro be able to create forms or will it now? and if not, then why is adobe advertising for it still?

What you're calling "Adobe Forms" is really Adobe FormsCentral. The FormsCentral service is indeed going away soon, but you can always create PDF forms (AcroForms) with Acrobat. Acrobat also comes with a desktop version of the FormsCentral desiger, which can be used to create simple PDF forms that can be used apart from the FormsCentral service. So you'll no longer be able to create and host web forms with the FormsCentral service or use PDF forms with the FormsCentral service. You will be able to create standalone PDF forms with Acrobat and simple PDF forms with the FormsCentral desktop app.

Hello JCohee,
Doing so will require installing the iCloud Control Panel, which can be downloaded from the following link.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

On FCP7, how can I put down an image say at 1 minute in, and then have it stay put as I adjust what's in front of and after it?

Put the scene that you want to stay in one place on the timeline on a video track above the one you are editing, in the location you want it to be on the timeline, and then lock the track.

Can we have more than One DC for the sales organization and Plant combo?

Can we have more than One DC for the sales organization and Plant combination?
If yes can you please site a practical example to clear the picture

Hi
First of all in SAP sales orgs are assigned to distribution channels and the combination of sales org and distribution channel which is called distribution chain is assigned to plant
There is no direct link between sales org and plant or distribution channel and plant
So sales org and plant combination doesnot exists and
it is only sales org and dist channel combination which is called as distribution chain only exists
Nowhere in SAP we are assigning sales org to plant
It is because sales org alone doesnot make sense and its combination with dist channel only makes sense
because sales org is a selling org and the distribution channel is the route to sell and this combination has only to pick the material from plant to process sales to customers
The relation between sales org and distribution channels is many to many and also vice versa
Multiple sales orgs can be assigned to one distribution channel and
Multiple distribution channels can be assigned to one sales org
Similarly the relation ship between Distribution chain (sales org+dist channel) to plant is also many to many and vice versa
Similarly plants from other company codes can also be assigned to Distribution chain to facilitate intercompany processes
In whatever way look at it the multiple distribution channels can be fit anywhere
Regards
Raja

Can I use the same USB cable for both the iPhone and the iPad?

Brnad new user of the iPad - can I use the same USB cable for both the iPhone and the iPad? The iPad does not charge when plugged into the computer or the wall (110V) adapter. I've been able to sync in iTunes using the same cable on both.

Actually, the iPad charger works just fine with iPhones and iPods. The iPod/iPhone charger will charge an iPad very slowly but no harm will be done.

I was just wondering if I can use time capsule with my iphone for both back up and to access the hard drive on the capsule?

I don't think backup is supported but you may be able to access the TC's internal drive, from the iPhone, with an application like: NetPortal
Note: I haven't actually tried this app, so if someone else has and was successful in accessing the TC's drive they can certainly chime in.
Follow-up. Just downloaded and installed this app ... and I can now verify that it, indeed, can access both my TC's internal and externally attached USB HDD.

Easy way to do smooth motion pan and zoom on a video clip?

Howdy..
As a recent convert from Vegas and Premiere Pro, I'm very happy with FCP6, with 1 issue: Easy moves on video clips.
It's very easy to setup a move with the motion filter, but the problem is that zooming with moving on the clip with 'ease-in' is problematic.
The scaling and motion seem to accelerate at different rates, making it very tough to achieve a smooth pan and zoom at the same time (either one by itself is easy).
I've tried using anchor points, but that's difficult when doing several moves on a clip.
Basically, is there ANY way (either native or via a plug-in) to set up simple pan+zooms on a video clip, with smoothness turned on without having the 'slingshot' effect that you get? I know I can mess around with the acceleration points, but this is tough to do with 100 of clips that need adjusting.
I'd appreciate any help you can offer..
Thanks...
Best,
Ben

Howdy...
Usually I set easy-in/out on the canvas window (for center) and then 'smooth' on the keyframes (for scale) in the motion window.
Can you actually set smoothing for center in the viewer? I think you can only set easy-in/out for center in the canvas. (could be wrong on this one).
I wish it worked like in Motion. Much easier and more intuitive, but one shouldn't have to jump to a different app just to do a simple pan and zoom...
Any other ideas?
-Ben

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Wher

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Where are all the options I had in PS10? Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.
